My paintings are inspired by the love of nature, social justice causes and our common quest for connection. I do expressionist landscapes, abstracts and Judaica. I use oil or oil and mixed media on canvas with a palette knife. Color, movement and texture facilitate the emotional quality and intensity of my art. My mixed media paintings capture and transform with the light. They are best appreciated in person as you move around them. The spiral and circular motif in many of my abstracts and Judaica speak of the feminine in life and a yearning for completeness. Many of my paintings are heavily layered and suggest the viewer look deeper or from different perspectives. I studied art and art history at Sarah Lawrence College where I received my B.A. Contact information: hashaleah@aol.com
